Live Youth Theatre

Are you aged between 11 and 25? Do you want to learn new skills, meet new people and perform?

Live Youth Theatre is a perfect way to get a taste for theatre or to develop performance skills with our friendly and supportive team of theatre professionals. And - there are no auditions or fees to pay.

The region’s largest FREE youth theatre has a lot to be excited about as this year we are celebrating our 21st Birthday. As well as developing skills, building confidence and performing, young people in our Youth Theatre will work with some of the most exciting theatre makers and writers in the UK, and be given the opportunity to get involved in some of the other surprises and secrets that are yet to be revealed.

Live Youth Theatre meet weekly throughout the year. Over three exciting terms young people will develop their skills in stage craft, develop a new play to perform on the stage and explore scripts that have been produced and performed here at Live Theatre.
